PROHIBITION CREATIONS AT YOUNG HIGH
TOWERS FUNERAL IN ATLANTA.
Tho Services Held ut tho Young Mons Pro-

Part In the Exercises-Dr. Morrison's
Words . " What a City or n Nation sow

sSSa@S ~ aAS "ON.
ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 2.-Young Charnell
Hightower, the boy who died Wednesday
from the effects Of a blow from some unknown
negro, was buried yesterday amid remarka-
BILE scenes. The Prohibitionists seem to
have been doing all they could to make polit-
ical capital out of the boys death. The
Young Mems Prohibition Club, of which he
was a member, took charge of the remains,
and the funeral, instead of being held at his
father's house. was held at Prohibition head
quarters, which was draped in mourning
There was q great crowd present. In
Memoriam,' "Died with His Armor On
"A Rest were the legends on the black
board at the head Of the hall, and floral Offer
ings bore similar notices.
As many as ten preachers took part in the
exercises and the hall was crowded. Rev. H.
@. Morrison and Rev. j. b. Hawthorne de-
livered the funeral o~rations. In the course
of his remarks DR.. Morrison said: "'What a
man soweth, that also shall he reap. What q
city or q nation soweth. that also shall it
reap.' This is but the voice of that universal
law that says: Whatsoever q man soweth
shall he also reap While we would utter
no word of bitterness towards those who
differed from US, and while there are many
of them, l dare say, who deplore this deed,
yet it is the legitimate reaping of the seed
Just sown. 1t is the first sheaf, gathered
sooner than any expected, but the prelude
and prophesy of the harvest which must in
evitably follow. 1t is the preface to that
history which rum is to make in our city, and
that preface is naturally written in blood,
and that by the almost u~naccountable ele-
ment used by others to prepare material for
that history. Flushed with whiskey and
frenzied with the enthusiasm of success, the
brutal hand has crushed out this young and
promising life, and with the blood baptized
our city into its new relation"
L.Dr. Hawthorne, speaking of the relation of
ltke Prohibition question to the crime, said
1T would be not only unjust, but exceed
ingly foolish in us to say hat the anti Pro-
hibitionists as a party are responsible for the
murder of this young man. l believe there
are hundreds of men in that party who are as
incapable of such q deed as any Of us. 1 be-
lieve that there are many among them who
deprecate the crime as profoundly as the best
of us. But this I shall say, my sense of
truth and right, and my love for the
pei me to soy The murder of
young Hightower is one of the inevitable
fruits of the iniquitous traffic which is again
fastened upon this fair city by the triumph of
the anti Prohibition party. Hightower was
murdered, and the guilt Of that crime rests
upon every liquor dealer in this country"
The burial was at Fort Valley. Ca, and q
delegation of Prohibitionists attended.
The police last night arrested Ebert Ware,
q negro with a pretty bad record. They think
he is the murderer of Hightower.

SPRINGFIELDS FINE BLOCK BURNED.
Destruction of tho Winthrop Clubs Swell
Rooms-The Loss About 100000.

ESPECIAL TO THE WORLD
~SPRINarIELD, Mass, Dec. About 4
o'clock this morning the fine four-story
brick block known as tho Kirkham and Olm-
stead block, corner Of State and Willow
streets. was nearly destroyed by Are. In
this block were the elegantly furnished rooms
of the Winthrop Club. which occupied nearly
the entire upper floor. After u stubborn
fight the fire was brought under control.
The cause of the fire, which appears to have
started on the club-roOm floor, is not yet
apparent. The loss to the building and occu-
pants mo now be accurately estimated
it may reach 800. 900.
The interior finish Of the block was of q
superior order throughout, the finish of the
upper story costing somewhere about
$40, 900, so that the loss on the building will
reach $50, 900. The Winthrop Club will lose
about $4,000. The damage to other occu-
pants is principally by smoke and water. and
is very heavy. particularly on the main
floor. The Collegiate Institute had o
the club rooms. In the third story
we're apartments and offices. On the second
floor were the Collegiate Institute, Prof.
Zuchlmann's music rooms, real estate offices
of j. ID. 4 w. H. Mcknight, DIR. Harvey,
w. @. King Il Co., book publishers. and the
Metropolitan Insurance Offices. On the main
floor are Wilson q Patterson, stove dealers |;
the State street butter store, Smiths cigar
store, Moore's plumbing establishment,
Bulls harness store, and =. W.. Clarke d
Son, florists.

Hints 20 Amateur Dressmakers.

The amateur dresamaker is advised that there Is
but little change in the arrangement OF basques of
new costumes; a tendency Is, however, shown to
lengthen the sides of the %basques, making them
come down well on the hips, and another fancy is
that of fastening the back drapery OF the skirt
above the edge Of the basque, giving the appear
Hnce OF pIincesse continuous breadths. The round

HOW A DIME Is COINED.

There are many things OF interest to be seen at
the United States Mint on Fifth street. It ia not
generally known that This is the largest Institution
of the kind In the world; yet 1t is a fact, and IN Its
facilities for the rapid and perfect coinage Of
money the San Francisco Mint is conceded to be
much superior to the Royal Mint Of London, which
is generally supposed to be the largest and most
complete mint on earth.
A Chronicle reporter called yesterday, and
through the courtesy Of Coiner James NJ. Gorham
was permitted to witness the manner 10 which dol

form OF type at the same time the piece Is ex-
banded in a sight degree, and the small corruga-
lions are cut into its rim. The machine drops the
completed coin into a receiver, and 1t is ready for
the counters hands.
The instrument used by the counter is not a
complicated machine by any means. as one might
suppose. 1t Is a simple copper-coyered tray hav-
ing raised ridges running across its surface at a
distance apart the exact width Of a dime. From
the receiver the money is dumped on to this board
or tray and as 1t is shaken rapidly by the counter
tue pieces settle down into the spaces between the
riuges. All these spaces being filled the surplus
coin is brushed back into the receiver and the
counter has exactly 1850 silver dimes, or $l26, on
this tray, which humber Ia required to I'LL the
spaces. The tray is then emptied into boxes and
the money is ready for shipment
The dime does not pass through the weigher's
hands an does the coin of a larger denomination.
One and one-half grains is allowed for variation or
tolerance in all silver coins from a dollar
down, and the deviation from he standard In the
case of the ten-cent pieces is so trining that the
trouble and expense of weighing coins of this de-
nomination Ia dispensed with.
